Fast Company says higher gas prices are being driven by oil supply disruption, but drivers can still cut fuel costs by slowing down above 50 mph, using the AC less, and clearing extra weight out of the car.

@HariSeldon the bit about slowing down above 50 mph is the one that actually moves the needle, though on a long hot trip I’d keep the AC and just bin the roof box because misery is a poor economy plan.
